Betty Sherksnas cooks for a
crowd—even when there’s no
crowd around. ‘Maybe in the
middle of the week the house is
empty,” Betty likes to say, ‘‘but
by the weekend I can be sure of
having company!”
So welcome does Betty make
her guests feel that they are
likely to descend upon her with
scarcely more than a quick
phone call—if that. ‘I never
know when people are going to
drop in Betty-admits, ‘‘but when
they do, I like to be sure we have
something good for them to
eat.” 7

Senior Citizens
Meet March 13
Members of the Back Moun-
tain Senior Citizens Club will

That ‘‘something”’ is usually
good indeed. Of Lithuanian
descent, Betty Sherksnas is a
past master at preparing tasty
foods which bring rave reviews
from all her guests, be they her
eight grandchildren, her
married son and daughter,
assorted friends and relatives—
or the neighborhood kids, who
know just where to look in Mrs.
Sherksnas’ kitchen for yummy
treats!
"So popular is Betty Sherks-
nas’ hospitality and cooking
that the 90-plus members of her
parents’ family who held a
reunion at the Sherksnas Point
Breeze home this summer are
already clamoring for an en-
core in the summer of ’72.
The reunion, which marked the
first gathering of the Shepor-
aitis clan since 1933, boasted
“wall to wall kids” and a “lot of
cooking.” Nobody enjoyed the
fun more than the gregarious
Betty Sherksnas.
Betty is known throughout the
Harveys Lake community for
more than her cooking,
however. As vice president of
the Altar and Rosary Society of
Our Lady of Victory Church,
Betty is active in many social,
religious and fund raising
events for the organization. She
and her husband Bill, a painting
and former Harveys Lake Boro-
ugh councilman, take pains to
see that the church is given a
thorough cleaning each
Saturday—and consider the
task a labor of love.
An outgoing person who
‘loves being with people,”
Betty considers herself a ‘real
gabber.” With her easy charm
and happy manner, it is no
wonder that the crowds for
whom she cooks each week in-
variably materialize when
weekends come!
